Editorial Commentary: A No-Difference Study That May Make a Difference in the Treatment of Disorders of the Shoulder...

Biceps tenodesis for disorders of the biceps brachii is frequently performed; nevertheless the optimum procedure, and particularly the level of tenodesis either above the pectoralis major tendon or inferior to the tendon, is yet to be determined. Both have purported advantages. Studies that do not find a difference in outcomes between the 2 groups in the publishing vernacular are sometimes referred to as no-difference investigations and are slightly less likely to be published, known as publication bias. This may be the rare "no-difference" investigation that makes a difference in the treatment of the biceps brachii.
